A hip Japanese restaurant in New York has put an innovative spin on the after dinner treat. Instead of passing out mints or little chocolates after a meal of gyozo and okonomiyaki, the East Village restaurant gives each patron a tiny jar of bright pink sugar.

Without further explanation, this would seem a little bit odd, but Kenka, as the Japanese eatery is called, has really dreamed up something quite sweet.

The pink crystals are actually meant to be carried out to the door of the restaurants where a machine awaits… a cotton candy machine! Each person gets to take turns dumping in their sugar to create their very own take-away cotton candy cone!

Pierced, inked waiters serve $1.50 draft beers and inexpensive grub. Fried tofu and udon noodles go for $3.50, and entrées—like grilled salmon with miso, soup and salad—cost a mere $7. On the house: cotton candy, edamame and excellent Japanese music. It’s so authentic that Iron Chef Morimoto calls it one of his favorite New York hangs. (timeout)
